Chapter 902: The Meaning of the Trophy (Medium)
While Liverpool's players and fans were celebrating wildly, reporters found stars such as Chen Yu, Gerrard, Kaka, and Maldini to interview them on the spot.
Although at this time, neither Liverpudlian nor Milanese are reluctant to be interviewed, Liverpudlians are busy celebrating, and Milanese are not willing to talk about this game that makes them extremely sad, but the relationship between these superstars selected by the reporter and the media is still relatively harmonious, so they are also interviewed.
Kaka was in a very bad mood, for the loss of the game, he thought that the main reason was that the team was not cautious enough at the last moment, and was attacked by Liverpool, but at the same time Kaka believes that the referee Van Deer is inescapable of the responsibility for Milan's loss, and the stoppage time has passed, and he still did not blow the game, which is an important reason for the laxity of the Milan players.
When the reporter asked whether the defeat in the Champions League would affect his competition for the World Footballer in the second half of the year, Kaka admitted that this year's World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award are Chen Yu's, "After winning the Premier League and the Champions League double, Chen is already the biggest favorite in the world Footballer, as long as Chen's table in the second half of the year is not too bad, then it must be him, he deserves the title of Mr. Football." ”
Maldini retired after this game, he regretted that he did not win the fifth Champions League, but he congratulated Liverpool very much, saying: "It's a pity, I was going to take the championship goodbye, but the wish was disappointed, in fact, I already have four Champions League titles, the championship trophy and me, just the icing on the cake, I hope to see Milan to the top, Kaka can win the Ballon d'Or, but Kaka is still young, I believe he will have the opportunity to lead Milan to the Champions League...... Liverpool played very well today, they deserved the title, today's game, we were ready and we saw the hope of victory, but unfortunately, fate was on Liverpool's side again, Chen beat us with a goal outside of stoppage time, I think that is unreasonable, but the referee thinks it is a goal and we can't change it. I may not be on the pitch next season, but I'm sure Milan will be back to what they used to be. ”
As the captain of the Red Army, the spiritual leader, Gerrard is no longer the hero who turned the tide in 05 today, but his joy and excitement are the same as in 05, when the reporter asked him how he felt at the moment, Gerrard gushed endlessly: "I am so happy, so happy, to be able to represent Liverpool twice to win the Champions League trophy, this is something I never dreamed of, today we played very hard, three leads three times were equalized by Milan, and then Agger was also sent off, At that time, I even thought that God was not ready for us to win the championship, but Chen Yu stood up again and saved the team, just like he did in the league, having Chen Yu is a kind of happiness, a kind of guarantee, I can't describe the feeling of being in a team with Chen Yu, the last time we won the championship in Istanbul, many people thought that we were too lucky, this time it is estimated that there will be many people and many media saying that we are lucky, I don't want to explain this, good luck is good luck, as long as we win the championship, Liverpool have not been considered the top club in the world for many years, even if we won the Champions League in '05 because we played so badly in the league, and now we have won the league and the Champions League, I don't believe there will be any more people who say we are second-rate giants......"
As a hero who scored a hat-trick and single-handedly decided the ownership of the championship, even during the interview, Chen Yu was highly sought after, and before he could speak, countless microphones were delivered to his mouth, and the expressions of some reporters were not even different from those fanatical fans.
"It's hard to win the game, I even thought God abandoned us at one point, but luckily, we choked the throat of fate again, and won the Champions League two years in a row, this feeling is really good, well, it can be regarded as defending the title, it should be said, we still played very well, three leads are the best proof, but Milan in the Champions League is also very strong, they proved themselves to be one of the strongest in the Champions League, they are also fully prepared for this game, it is not easy to beat them, There is even some element of luck, but the more this happens, the more important it is to this championship. ”
“…… I scored a hat-trick today, it's rare to score a hat-trick in the final, I was also surprised, probably today my parents and grandparents were there, their arrival gave me a lot of motivation, I don't want them to see me fail, so a little bit of an extraordinary performance, today I want to dedicate the trophy to them, I can have today's achievements, they all have a credit, I will always love them. ”
Chen Yu's words are not false, to his grandparents, of course, he is full of gratitude and respect, to his biological parents, in fact, he is also full of love in his heart, just because of his stepmother, this love was buried in his heart, with Chen Yu's success in recent years, and the relationship with his parents has eased, this father-son and mother-son love has been revealed again.
While Liverpudlian celebrated, Milan was saddened and superstars were being interviewed, the Stadio Olimpico and UEFA staff had already set up the podium, and the next step was the award ceremony watched by fans around the world.
The fans were already celebrating on their own, but at this time they all turned their eyes to the rostrum to witness the Reds reach the podium in the Champions League final and become the kings of European football.
For some time now, the championship ceremonies of football matches have been held on the lawn in order to bring the medal ceremony closer to the playing field. However, in the previous championship award ceremonies were still held in the stands, when all the members of the championship team lined up on the podium, came to the front of the leaders to accept the trophies and medals, and stood in the middle of the fans to receive people's blessings and share the joy of winning the championship.
UEFA President Michel Platini decided to "respect the traditional history of football" after beating Johansen to take office, moving all the award ceremonies from the turf back to the stands again in accordance with the previous rules in the Europa League this season, so the award ceremony for this Champions League final was held on the podium.
The referee who walked to the rostrum first was the referee of this game, although the referee Van Del controlled the whole game well, and the linesman did not make any mistakes, but the mistake made by Van Del in stoppage time was so fatal that when he stepped on the podium, the fans who had not left Milan broke out into huge boos for him, and some fans threw debris and spit on him, making Van Del a little embarrassed.
The commentator at the scene still defended Fandel, saying: "...... Van Del is an excellent referee, otherwise UEFA would not let him referee on such a heavy game occasion, he did a good job most of the game, almost no one can feel the referee's deposit, but the last stoppage time was mishandled, ruining his efforts, in fact, even if Chen Yu did not score Fandel ended the game early, Chen Yu did not score, does it mean that Milan must win in extra time? Liverpool swings the iron bucket formation, Chen Yu counterattacks in front, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, besides, at that time, Liverpool's attack wave after wave, and it is common sense for the referee to let this wave of games continue, at least I think that Van Deel's law enforcement in this game can still score 70 points......"
Milan fans cursed the referee and spat on him, and Liverpool fans naturally supported Van Dele and applauded him, which almost caused the provocation of fans on both sides to escalate, but fortunately the security guards were well prepared at this time and prevented the situation from turning into an uncontrollable aspect in time.
The first to take the stage to receive the award was the Milanese, who won the runner-up.
The Milanese were in a very bad mood, and they didn't even bother to make a wry smile to hide, and one by one they walked towards the rostrum dejectedly.
Instead of giving up on their players and complaining about their players, the Milan fans no longer booed Van Del and gave their team a round of applause.
Although Liverpool and Milan are rivals, opponents like Milan are also worthy of respect, and when the Milan players came to the stage to accept the award, Liverpool fans also spontaneously applauded the AC Milan players.
The Sky Sports TV commentator said: "AC Milan played very well and tenacious, as a team that is no longer at its best, no longer at the best age, Milan did not fall behind in the face of Liverpool, the most powerful in Europe, and even had the upper hand at the last moment, but the only regret is that they still did not control Chen Yu, let Chen Yu score three goals, and finally lost the championship trophy, but they don't have to be sad, although Maldini is leaving, Seedorf is old, but Otto, Jankulovski, Kaka and Gilardino have shown great ability, they still have a future, and I believe they will be on this podium in the future, maybe next season, maybe they will be the champions......"
The new president of UEFA, Michel Platini, smiled and put the medal around Ancelotti's neck, shook Ancelotti's hand and said: "Milan is a great team, and with opponents like you, the Champions League will be the best league in the world." ”
Ancelotti sighed and said, "The chairman is falsely praised. With that, Ancelotti sighed and walked over.
Kaka is probably the most disappointed player in the Milan team, and after Platini brought him a runner-up medal, Kaka then took it off and held it in his palm, which made Platini sigh too, Kaka and Chen Yu are his favorite stars, and he really felt sorry for them to see one of them lose.
Maldini and Platini are old friends, and when they presented Maldini with medals, the two chatted lightly.
"When you are old and strong, you almost succeeded." Platini patted Maldini on the shoulder.
Maldini was very open-minded and said, "It's still young people who are great, but we still fail." ”
Platini looked at Chen Yu standing on the field, with a smile on his face, and said: "Chinese Chen is really a demon, he can always create a miracle, but Paul, you are a legend now, and the championship is still left to the newcomer." ”
Platini laughed.
Maldini shook his head and said, "I can't keep it and I can't do it, people will grab it." With that, Maldini walked over briskly and caught up with Kaka to comfort the lost looking young man.
